red colored moths
red and light colored moths
Over the years, white mice became extinct and darker mice survived. This is
stabilizing selection
directional selection
disruptive selection
due to exercise
Average phenotypes are favored in the environment, while extremes have lower survival rates.
seasonal selection
distruptive selection
directional selection
stabilizing selection
Two populations of the same species are separated by land barriers like rivers or mountains.
geographical isolation
temporal isolation
adaptive ratiation
behavioral isolaton
Organisms of the same species do not interbreed for various reasons.
Genetic Isolation
Gene Pool
Adaptation
Survival of the Fittest
Organisms of the same species can no longer interbreed therefore creating two species.
Gene Pool
Genetic Drift
Gene Frequency
Speciation
individuals with alleles for an extreme type are more likely to survive and reproduce
stabilizing selection
directional selection
disruptive selection
genetic drift
the selection pressure favors the extreme phenotypes, dividing the population into 2 distinct groups
directional selection
stabilizing selection
geographic selection
disruptive selection
Individuals with intermediate traits are more likely to survive and reproduce
stabilizing selection
directional selection
adaptive radiation
disruptive selection
